It's something to keep in mind though; for when we eventually have to tear this country down to its foundations, and start over from scratch.

They kept trying to push us to do that when I was in college, but my autism makes it impossible for me. I had hoped that working my butt off for a 4.0 GPA would be enough to compensate, but it later turned out that my grades meant absolutely nothing.

I'm a NEET, but not exactly by choice; I tried to find work in and outside of my field for years after I graduated, but eventually my degree expired in terms of its applicability, and I just gave up and finally went on disability thanks to my autism. Honestly, it would have cost taxpayers less...
